The Last Friend sees you keeping dogs safe through a little beat ’em up action and some tower defense. I mean, you’re gonna do whatever you can, right?
I don’t know if I want to know why mutants are kidnapping dogs in this post-apocalyptic world. I do know that I’m going to do what I can to put a stop to it, though. That means joining main character Alpha on a mission to stomp any dog-nappers out there in the wasteland. I mean, sure, they all have wild powers that allow them to cause explosions and throw you around, but you’ve got to stand for something in this dying world. May as well throw everything you have at keeping these dogs safe with your fists.
The dogs don’t just sit there and let you absorb all the dangers, though. They’re dogs, after all. They’ll want to help. They do so by joining the fray and offering various helpful effects. You’ve also got an array of weapon and trap installations you can use to keep people from messing with your vehicle and furry friends, giving you tons of options on how you can deal with these mutants. You can pet the dogs afterwards if you do well, which makes for a nice reward at the end.
The Last Friend charmed us a few years ago at PAX East, so we’re looking forward to getting even more dogs for our collection and continuing this road trip now that the game’s out!
The Last Friend will be made available today on the Nintendo eShop, Epic Games Store, and Steam.
